my computer is Windows xp, my friend downloaded Windows 7. Will not that she should have uninstalled windows xp first?
Uninstalling windows XP. IHAVE virtually no memory, I have Windows 7 AND Windows XP installed on my computer, I even restore canmot back it won't let me. What should I do?
What is now installed on the computer, Windows XP or Windows 7?
It seems that your friend has made a custom installation of Windows 7 on Windows XP.
Possible why you don't have any hard drive space, your personal files were moved to the Windows.old folder to the root of the hard drive.
You can try the release of disk space by retrieving your personal files and delete the WIndows.old folder:

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

Uninstall (if this option)
Use disk utility to check your volume and repair permissions.

I use a Brother MFC-7420. Usually, it works under Windows 7, but from time to time (maybe 1 in 20 times) he will not print and I have to unload the coil and switch off the printer before Relighting. It is not always the case, but it is enough times to be a nuisance.
Ideas, people?

I downloaded the last Adobe Flash - it is said to be successful but will not work. What he says "Manage plugins but the plugin says it is enabled, but it will not work." I have tried disabling and then enabling - without success. Help, please!
There are two different versions of Flash. ActiveX for IE version and the version of the Plugin for other browsers. Have you installed the correct version? This forum software is not thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
1. download the file of configuration Flash from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your desktop.2. close Firefox using file > exit
Then check the Task Manager > processes tab to make sure that firefox.exe is closed.
{XP: Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Vista: Shift + Ctrl + ESC process tab =}3. then run the Flash configuration from your desktop file.
4. run Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- On Vista and Windows 7, you may need to run the installer of plugin as administrator by starting the installation program via the context menu if you do not get a UAC prompt for permission to continue (that is to say that nothing seems to be happening).

Computer will not start at the top. I was first getting a 'file problem' message on nv4_mini.sys. After finding that someone else had the same problem and I responded went to try the solution but then started to get the message that the file: \windows\system32\config\system is missing or corupted. Have tried to do where I could start up in safe mode and cannot. Tried to boot from the installation CD, but when I try to make the system recovery and choose the system to recover nothing happens. This isn't regarding the password. I have a Dimension 4500 XP sp3
Hi BrianJ641,

Software downloaded from EPRN will not turn on.
I recently bought and downloaded some barcode labeling software EPRN using Avangate. The software downloaded, but it will not activate with the key they sent to my email address. I spoke several times to their support staff and they assure me that they have tested the link and activation key and both work very well. But not to activate my version here in Botswana. I tried many times and I do not simple entry errors. The activation key will not work. I paid for the software, but I can't use it. I don't know if the problem may have something to do with the allocation of regional licensing or something like that, since I live in Botswana. Any ideas or advice?

Pavilion sleekbook 14pc: WINDOWS updates to DAY AS DOWNLOAD, BUT DO WILL NOT INSTALL
my windows update will not work. He says that it is impossible to proceed with the installation and changes are undone.
everything seems to be quite appropriate when cking pc settings, HOWEVER, my HP Support Assistant was correct info to the bottom of the page where it says that I need a new ID for the operating system. I should just close the wizard checks to see if that will work around this info and maybe allow the updates downloaded install OR am I following a false trail?
I lost hours and hours for months trying to find a solution to this CHALLENGE without talking about money spent on assistance and programs that were supposed to address.
Has anyone else had such a challenge. Y at - it a solution?
Thank you
